  • A quick comprehensive guide and analysis of Kiri Sully or Kiri te Suli Kìreysì'ite from Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Explained.
    In this breakdown, analysis, reaction and ending explanation we focus on answering the questions, “What are Kiri’s powers?”, “Who is Kiri’s father or dad?”, “Why is Kiri?”, “What does the great mother want from Kiri?”. As well as Kiri’s relationship and mystery surrounding her mother Dr. Grace Augustine; both characters played by Sigourney Weaver. Like looking at video logs from the Site 26 Link Station in the Hallelujah Mountains and the Omatikaya’s Clan’s High Camp.
    Mostly, by explaining who Eywa (All-Mother or Great Mother) is, as well as Pandora's Network of Energy and the global consciousness. In order to get to that answer, I go over the Recom Program or Recombination Program, also known as Project Phoenix. Specifically, how the Backups work; comparing the human’s (Sky People’s) RDA Avatar Program technology to the Na’vi’s moon Pandora. Also, exploring her relationship with Tuk, Miles “Spider” Socorro, Jake Sully, Neytiri, Neteyam, and Lo'ak. Miles’ parents, Paz Socorro and Colonel Miles Rick Quaritch, may tear apart their friendship in Avatar 3 (2024).
    I use material from deleted scenes from Avatar (2009), the original script, Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (James Cameron's Avatar), The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration, Avatar The Way of Water The Visual Dictionary The Visual Dictionary and interviews from James Cameron (Director & Writer) and Deborah Lynn Scott (Costume designer) to help you get the full scope of this character.

    Honestly her mystery is not hard to figure out. In the first movie Grace says “I’m with her jake she’s real” something within those lines meaning she’s with Eywa. They want you to think Kiri has a dad but she doesn’t at all. She’s like a reincarnation of Grace but the child of Eywa. Also to add why I think she’s a reincarnation of Grace is because Kiri was being born and in the womb of Grace’s body as if she’s being reborn

      @@KAGIICHII If Eywa was present then she wouldnt have caused Kiri to seize up and giving Kiri a terror memory almost resulting in her death. Also I am not 100 percent on this theory, only because it does not explain how Kiri can harness the power to control the planet, especially in a manner of violence. Network and biological defenses from the planet gives clues on that the planet is a sentient network (like a server). So malfunction or an error of Kiri asking herself questions makes a little sense. I have so many questions tho. Why a human / avatar is chosen for this role? Is Eywa evolving her defensive measures by using Kiri? Maybe Eywa was manmade.. lol too much thought into this.

      My theory is that she IS THE DOCTOR. I think the consciousness transfer failed due to her injuries but Ewya (not sure I spelled it right) found another way to resurrect her. I think Ewya impregnated Grace's avatar herself and implanted Grace's consciousness into the fetus. I think she is basically the REINCARNATION of the Doctor. When she sees the Doctor in her "vision" I think its LITERALLY HER. I think this is the science fiction version of reincarnation.

    The sky people didn’t break neytiris bow; her vengeful fit of violence in blind murderous anger did, somehow representing responsibility, her father, her heritage.

    • @tekcrimsonblitz

      I thought something similar when I saw that scene. I think it might be foreshadowing that in her quest for vengeance, she might unknowingly endanger her clan and her family. I think that will be her character arc: learning maybe not to forgive, because she has suffered way too much, but learning that instead of throwing everything out of a window and seek revenge, she can choose to fight not to avenge the dead but to protect her loved ones that are still alive.

      What I like about it is that, in some ways, you can at least identify with one character based on either a single or multiple aspects of them.
      I remember someone saying that the movie is bad because none of the characters are relatable. When I asked him in what context; does he mean himself or in general (as in every single moviegoer), his response was the latter. I then said, well I identify with Lo’ak as I too feel like an outcast and constantly ostracised for trying to do good but ending up messing it for everyone. His response… silence and just informing me. I think that speaks volumes that people undeservingly hate this movie because they tend to look at the most trivial and surface level negative aspects of the movie because unless it is a Nolan movie, then you are not allowed to think too much about the more personal aspects. To dig deep beyond the surface level. But I digress.
      My point is, I’m glad that there are people out there who appreciate this movie beyond the blind hatred and that they are looking at it with a more analytical POV.

I think she is not seeing a different person in her flashback vision but seeing her own previous self. As I said its a form of REINCARNATION.

    There's something that people haven't noticed from the movie that I find interesting. Grace is active and actually conscious inside Eywa, while the only other Na'vi we see inside the network is basically just reliving their best experiences and favorite memories like a dream. It makes me wonder if the reason that Kiri was born is because the Na'vi, due to having evolved in this ecosystem, basically just upload themselves into a never ending dream letting them live in the best moments of them and their ancestors lives. While Grace, a human mind and of an entirely separate evolutionary path of life, is still conscious fully and appears to be studying Eywa from the inside out. It could that Eywa is and has been dormant for a long long time. With the one human being in her network imbuing a new form of active consciousness that actually pushes Eywa towards actually acting over being an incumbent hive mind. The Na'vi themselves said Eywa's will must be interpreted and that she does not take sides. Grace and her memories of Earth finally pushed Eywa to movement and it's not stopping.
    TLDR; Grace basically caused Eywa to download some new software and is now actively participating in the biosphere that forms her to fend off the outside threat of humans, with Kiri not only a Messiah figure, but also Eywa's new physical instrument upon her world

    Neytiri could also confront this internally herself by seeing how she shouldn’t see Jake as the ‘one good human’ as I think she saw him as an exception among the ‘Sky People’ while tolerating Jake’s human friends for his sake as I don’t think she ever saw them as friends personally.

      Like 99% of humans came to Pandora to destroy everything about their planet and everything Neytiri loved. Her family got killed by humans. It's not like that "racism" just fell out of the sky, they traumatised her. They had literal WAR. The thing is that Jake no longer looks like a human and fought with them AGAINST the humans. So therefor it's hard for her to see Jake as one of the humans when he took the na'vi's side and looks just like them. Spider is the literal child of the general who pretty much controlled a bunch of everything that went down. She has EVERY reason to NOT like Spider. I do hope she will find a place in her heart so accept him though. But Jake was way worse this movie. He treated his own kids like soldiers instead of as his sons. That's more disgusting than Neytiri who has every reason to hate humans.

      I hope Neytiri gets called out for her behavior and actually starts improving. At the same time her behavior is understandable, given that she never had to deal with such amount of loss until the humans arrived. They didnt even know for the concept of lying before the humans thought them. She never process such loss in a healthy way, since her husband isnt what you can call a psychiatrist, nor do the Navi have anything close to a psychiatrist in their society besides the spiritual leader (which is her mom, who also never properly processed the same loss) and Eywa. This might also be the reason why Neytiri became so "religious" in the following years, praying for Eywa. The great mother was there in their most darkest hour and a comfort when they needed it the most. The final scene of the movie basically was Jake and Neytiri going to therapy with Eywa as the psychiatrist.

I even felt my eyes sting when she voiced her distress over her awareness of being different, and of always feeling (Eywa) so strongly, because I’ve been overwhelmed by similar perplexing emotions and interrogations my whole life.

      @@Zurround Kiri might not necessarily have been written as intentional autism representation, but as someone who didn’t get diagnosed until adulthood precisely because I didn’t "seem" autistic, I personally identify with her much more than with most characters that behave and speak in stereotypical manners. I do tend to sympathize with more obvious robot and/or alien characters who struggle to grasp human nature and customs, like Data, but I don’t stand out like them. My eccentricities usually look more like Kiri getting mocked for her odd fascination with patterns in the sand, or breaking down because she can’t figure out what’s wrong with her.
      The problem is that autism is still largely misunderstood and a lot of people on the spectrum, especially girls, learn to mask their symptoms to appear "normal" from a very young age, which causes many (like me) to get overlooked until they eventually can no longer cope. I absolutely *can* make eye contact (even though I often find it distracting and unnecessary), infer how to express myself in socially approved manners, use figurative language, laugh at people’s jokes, feel for others, and nurture several friendships. (In fact, too many people are drawn to me because I reflexively tend to be overly accommodating, something I’ve been working on.)
      Blending in is very taxing in the long run, but entirely possible to achieve at times for those of us who are particularly aware of and bothered by other people’s judgement. It’s not so much that I "act autistic" as it is that I’ve always felt fundamentally different from even my loved ones, like something I can’t quite pinpoint is off, added to the constant feeling that everything is just too much. That’s why Kiri’s subtle but oh so relatable personality quirks appealed to me so much.

      16 years of someone spending time around your family 100% removes them from "stranger" status. Realistically, she would know Spider better than any other human she's ever come into contact with besides her husband.
      Even if her hatred makes sense, she's definitely being unfair. Neytiri is the kind of character who is written to be extremely stubborn and prejudiced against things she doesn't have first hand experience witnessing. So I believe in the next film, it will take her having several direct experiences with Spider where she sees him prove her wrong. Because hearing others vouge for Spider isn't enough for her. The same thing happened between her and Jake. It took her seeing him put his life on the line for her people to actually come to fully trust him, even though he'd already extensively proven he was a good person.
      Really hoping she has some sort of humbling experience that causes her character to grow past her current mindset. Because right now, her attitude towards humans is basically where she assumes them to all be evil/terrible, with the exception of Jake who she probably labels as "one of the good ones" which is obviously not the best perspective.

      Making the book from the first movie into a book you can buy at the book store is a BRILLIANT idea, pretend written by Dr. Grace. After the first page of "real life" info like Author and publish date etc they should have a pretend one that says the doctor's name as author and maybe "Copyright 2055" or something. We also need OFFICIAL NOVELIZATIONS of the movies as books often go into more detail. A PREQUEL novel about the early stages of human exploration of Pandora and the avatar program would be interesting as well as a "Midquel" novel that bridges the gap of many years between the first 2 movies. Star Wars and Star Trek does a lot of that.

    Kiri will probably grow up to be the most powerful Tsahik in Na'vi history who becomes a "messiah figure" for both Na'vi and humans. She is an important character who is likely the physical incarnation of Eywa, an equivalent to Jesus' story in the Bible. Kiri is also the key to learning more about Eywa and the entity's motives which is likely the protection of Pandora from humanity by helping humanity save Earth. In the Avatar Survival Guide, Pandora's flora and plant life can save Earth's environment. The Na'vi can help because of their deep understanding of Pandora's flora through their own history of research and studies. This makes sense because Cameron hinted that Avatar 5 will be about some Na'vi and Neytiri heading to Earth. However, due to Kiri's similarity to Jesus, we have to worry if Kiri will also face a similar end as Jesus who was crucified in the end. A parallel can be seen in Anakin Skywalker who was "crucified" in a way by becoming Darth Vader and later fulfilling his fate of bringing balance to the Force by killing Darth Sidious, weakening the Sith and the Dark Side greatly which allowed the Light Side to rise again. Will Kiri survive to the end of Avatar 5 or will she be killed/sacrificed in her efforts to bring peace and harmony between Pandora and Earth? So many questions as we worry about the fates of all the main characters. However, we know Norm will survive as there is information of the Distant Future when humans and Na'vi learn to coexist with the help of the Alpha Centauri Expeditions which an older Norm is part of.
    Future Character Fates after Avatar 5: The Quest for Eywa Theory
    1. Jake Sully -> Deceased and dies defending Pandora from the RDA. His final heroic actions also indirectly save Quaritch in the process.
    2. Neytiri -> Alive but spends the rest of her life on Earth to help humanity heal. Her remains are later sent back to Pandora.
    3. Lo'ak & Tsierya -> Alive and continue to support Aonung as the Metakyina's next Olo'eyktan.
    4. Kiri -> Deceased because of a great sacrifice she undertook to save both Na'vi and humanity.
    5. Tuktirey -> Alive and spends the rest of her life on Earth but travels back to Pandora occasionally.
    6. Spider -> Alive. He mourns Kiri's death and continues to help improve relations between Earth and Pandora.
    7. Quaritch (Recom) -> Alive and honors Jake's sacrifice by supporting his son (Spider) and continuing to defend humanity on Pandora.
    8. Norm -> Alive and helps lead the Alpha Centauri Expeditions to improve relations between Pandora and Earth. He also loves researching Pandora's mysteries.
    9. Lyle Wainfleet (Recom) -> Deceased after working with Quaritch to fight for humanity's survival and redemption.

Its also probably difficult and energy intensive to send understandable messages to earth from pandora, which an early colony simply could not do. Therefor, the RDA could simply lie about the state of war between Humans and Navi. The Navi need to go to earth to break the information gap, but also do some side effect stuff thats even more important.

    I know that sounds weird at first but hear me out: My theory is that Kiri is the equivalent to Jesus on Earth. We dont know who's the father of Kiri and Graces Avatar got pregnant right after her human body has died. Before the final fight in the first movie, Jake asked Eywa for help resulting in the animals killing a bunch of humans. But what if Eywa went further than that and gave the Na'vi a girl with the power of Eywa? This would explain why Kiri has these powers like controlling animals and plants like Eywa. And since Grace was too weak to get transfered to her Avatar body, Eywa put her soul into a new body instead.

      I can see where the Christian connection could be liked due to immaculate conception, but I would also say that the concept of Avatar takes inspirations from eastern religions such as Hinduism. Avatar literally meaning "descent", signifying the material appearance or incarnation of a powerful deity, goddess or spirit on Earth (you could argue that Jesus is the Avatar of Earth and Humanity in a way). Eywa is the Goddess and spirit of Pandora, and Kiri represents her will in physical form. Being birthed from Grace was a way for Eywa to manifest this new entity, since it was a perfect situation and perfect moment to achieve this, largely due to Grace connecting to Eywa, staying with Eywa, and her Avatar body remaining alive to achieve immaculate conception

    I was digging the gigachad alien whale who was outcast from his society because they thought he killed another creature. I thought it was cool that in this whale society they swore to a kind of spiritual pacifism after years of conflict with one another and so even if the violence is to save others, a whale hurting another creature would risk losing their community, pod, and chance of mating etc. However this specific alien whale decided that he would give up hope on being accepted in order to help save some blue aliens in the water and that is some dope shit

    I just got back from watching this. I got the impression that Spider and Kiri had a thing for each other, at least Spider has a huge crush on Kiri. I think Kiri's "father" is pretty evident given Grace was more in touch with Aywa than many of the actual Na'vi, as you said. There were a LOT of hints to spoilers for the next film at the end of Way of the Water, many which include focus on Kiri and Spider. Total kudos to all those actors for being so talented we either didn't believe they weren't teenagers or made us cry or made us hate them.

  • @ZingaroXIV
    @ZingaroXIV Před rokem +34

    I think the story has missed a real opportunity to add a very cool layer of story and character with Kiri and Jake. Think about this: they are the only two characters in these stories, and probably on all of Pandora, who have "passed through the eye of Eywa". Jake had to pass through to transfer to his Avatar body. Grace likewise had to pass through the eye of Eywa - but she was too weak to pass into her Avatar body. Instead, Eywa creates a child from her essence and sends that child into the world as Grace's daughter. There's no father in the traditional sense. Kiri and Jake share an experience and a connection with Eywa - each in a unique way. Clearly, Kiri is developing as a character into a sort of super tsahik. Jake, I think, has been a bit short changed. He had a strong enough connection with Eywa to become Toruk Makto. It seems reasonable that there is more to that connection, more for him to discover, more abilities to develop in defense of all Na'vi rather than kind of just returning to jarhead mode.

  • @Dma118
    @Dma118 Před rokem +91

    Eywa is like Mother Earth but with a more advanced consciousness and connection with everything. I think Kiri is just Grace reborn and Grace was always interested in the connection with Eywa and all things but was always looking from the outside in. She definitely had the aptitude to be more. So now she gets to look at it from the inside, and bc she was always inclined to hear Eywa, her senses are turned up to 11 because she’s been hearing and tuned into Eywa since birth. This is why when she connects with the spirit tree, she basically has access to all of the planet and it’s power/information and it overwhelms her body. So she needs to hone her abilities first. Another theory I have is Kiri is the trinity, with Grace and Eywa being the mother and the Holy Spirit. I think Kiri will eventually teach everyone to evolve spiritually and really hear Eywa so they can interface with her on another level. Basically be Gods of the planet and maybe all of reality. I’m sure there are more people like Kiri scattered throughout the planet too, waiting to be found. It’s a very similar story to how it is here on Earth ❤️

    • @Zurround

      I believe that Kiri is essentially the REINCARNATION of Dr. Grace. Also, many ancient Earth mythologies anthropomorphized nature itself hence the term "mother nature" as a deity of sorts. EYWA is just the modern science fiction version of that mythos (for another planet but maybe there is only ONE nature spirit that governs the whole universe.).

    In the first movie, when discussing how her school was shut down, Grace says the pain she felt as a result of Neytiri’s sister’s death transferred back to her through her avatar. Not only was it great acting, I think it hinted at her pain and emotion transferring on to Kiri. Her arch was about putting her beliefs as a scientist aside to embrace an immeasurable force (that of Eywa and spirituality). The unknown and unseen.

    One thing I very much APPRECIATE about this movie is that they showed us different ETHNICITIES of Navi with different physical features even though they are still the same SPECIES. Too often in science fiction the aliens of a certain race all look the same. Not EXACTLY the same but the same "ethnicity". There are SOME exceptions like the African American actor as a Vulcan in Star Trek voyager and the "albino" Klingons in Star Trek Deep Space 9 but almost always in science fiction each alien race pretty much looks all the same as each other.
    It is ABSURD to me how they keep making all the aliens of a race look the same. Imagine if someone from another world were to come to Earth and ALL of us were CAUCASION??
    Look at how frigging different a "gentleman" from ENGLAND looks from a dark skinned African or an Australian aborigine or a Native American. But they are ALL THE SAME SPECIES. Having different ETHNICITIES was AWESOME and I want to see MORE. On Earth there are MANY different races of human. Maybe in the next movie there can be a tribe with skin so dark blue that it is almost black and a tribe so light blue it is almost white.
    Maybe a tribe of "pygmy" Navi that are short (compared to the average of the species, still taller than most humans, maybe their average height could be 8 feet instead of 10 feet but maybe they would be buffed and built more like body builders).

    I could be wrong but I think Kiri’s dad could be Jake’s avatar through Jake’s twin brother. In the start of Avatar 2, Jake says that they noticed ‘ONE OF‘Grace’s avatar’s was expectant. Which means Grace had more than one avatar. When Grace died, it would be pointless to return a pilotless avatar to the place they keep them thus presumably was buried by the Omaticaya clan. I think, Grace had a relationship with Jake’s twin brother via avatar bodies and thus Kiri was conceived. I don’t think Kiri is a reincarnation of Grace since she saw Grace on the other side and Grace never made it back to her body.

We understand Neytiri's anger towards Spider but it obviously does not make it right or fair. She wants justice but she's gonna learn eventually that blaming Spider for the multitude of things he didn't do (or took the blame on) is not going to help. Also I just wanna say full on Mama Bear mode Neytiri is very scary but also very cool to see.

And she has the deeper connection to Eywah having been with her and coming back…essentially god being her other parent. By the end of the movie she comes to accept her divinity and has to use it to save the people….a bit Christ like in that theme 😮 it actually is very consistent and thoughtful, and I had worried it would be too far fetched when they were creating her story.
